PEN AND PENCIL CASE.

Specification of Letters Patent N6; 11,314, dated July 11, 1854. i

To all whom l? may concern:

Be it known that I, JACOB J. HATOHER, of the city of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Pencil and Pen Case; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and eXact description. j i

Thenature of my invention consists in the permanent attachment of thepencil to the case in such a manner that the pen holder containing the reserve for leads is permitted to work over and entirely independent of the pencil. The pen holder in connection with the case by being slid backward and forward uncovers and covers the everpoint pencil.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

Figure l represents the pen holder and reserve for leads. Fig. 2 represents the ever- Fig. 3 represents a vertical. section taken through the red line m w of Fig.4. Fig. 4 represents the case with the tube C, slid into tube D, exposing the everpoint ready for use.

Similar letters in the several figures denote the same parts.

The tubes C, D, E, in Fig. 3 composing the case may be made of any suitable metal and of such size as may be most convenient for carrying in the pocket and for writing. To the end of the tube C is attached a spring M, iitting in tube D, which gives it a regular motion and which by coming against the projection in the end of tube D, prevents its being pulled apart. Also on the end of tube D is a similar spring N, working in tube E, but of greater strength, so that when the tube D, is slid int-o the tube E, the tube C, with the pen holder F, can be slid in and out ofV the tube D, uncovering and covering the everpoint. Also when length as shown in Fig. 4, is desired, by sliding tubes C and D out of tube E, tube C can be slid back into tube lD without the tube D sliding into tube E. On the upper end of the everpoint F ig. 2, B, i-s a collar or ring permanently attached to tube A, on the inside, andon the outside to the spring N, as shown in Fig. 3. The reserve for leads is formed by the tubes J and K, the lever end of tube J being burnished or-bent over so as to meet tube K, to which it is soldered, which forms the bottom of reserve. On the Lipper end of tube J is a screw S, as shown in Fig. 1, in which the male screw P, which being hollow is made so as when screwed together the tube K filling the hole in screw P orms the upper end of thereserve to the end of which is attached the pen holder F as shown in Figs. 1 and 3.

The operation of my pencil and pen case is as follows: By sliding the tube C into tube,

D it is ready for use. `Should length of case be desired the tubes C and D must be slid out of the tube E and the tube C slid back int-o the tube D, as seen in Fig. 4. The pen holder is operated by sliding Out the tube J, or reserve, on the surface of which is a ridge or projection O, as shown in Fig. 1, which prevents its being slid too far into the tubeC, and reversing and sliding it back in the tube C when it is ready for use. Should length be desired the tube D must be slid out of tube E.

Having thus fully described my improved pencil and pen case I do not claim the Operation of a double extension case, nor do I claim the combination of pen and pencil in one case. But

/Vhat I do claim as new and desire to secure by Leters Patent is- 1. The permanent attachment of the pencil A to the case D operating by the tube C sliding over the pencil as set forth.

2. I also claim the hollow reserve for leads, with the pen holder working over and around the everpoint substantially in the manner set forth.

JACOB J. HATCHER..
